Blue Rain Drop

BLUE is the color of sky water and emotion
without RAIN no live
DROP is a beat after which the rhythm changes

What's blue rain drop?

exhibition 2025: digital poems & generative lyrics

as a follow-up of his book concerning the spiritual in art the russian painter and art theorist wassily kandinsky developped the graphic sign beyond a descriptive function in his work point and line to plane. with sound points sound lines and sound surfaces kandinsky's idea is continued in the age of digital societies.

letter_to_sount_point

The lyrical speaker of this poem expresses a call to the readers to continually rediscover themselves on the journey of life.

Additionally, depending on how it is read, the poem reveals other words or word combinations and can be interpreted individually. Words like ach or hund or sucht or du und ich or gedicht catch the eye. 😉

Selected Poems

poem _a_grain_of_truth

in mathematical logic truth is bivalent. it only knows the two values 1 for true and 0 for false.

the fuzzy logic is multivalent and besides 0 an 1 it uses all values between 0 and 1. instead of a black and white landscape the truth is captured with shades of gray.

in other words:
every Thing ( ) is true to ( ) a cerTAIn ( ) DEgree
